Ways To Support

Aaron’s Acres is most grateful for the donations that we have received in the past and continue to receive in the present! As a result of the new tax bill, we are recommending that you contact your tax advisor about the following ways you may still be able to make your charitable contributions more tax efficient going forward:

Establishing a Donor Advised Fund

Taking qualified charitable distributions which come directly from your IRA for those that have reached the age of 70 1/2

When you become a partner with Aaron’s Acres, your contribution does more than help spread our message. A contribution to an annual campaign or a special event directly benefits the children and young adults, ages 5-21 with developmental disabilities we support. All donations are truly appreciated!

Here, you’ll find some ways you can personally contribute to our year-round programs and activities throughout Berks and Lancaster County:

Cause Marketing

Lend your products or services to support Aaron’s Acres’ mission.

Community Fundraisers

Support or help organize third-party events, including the Hershey 10K, Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community, and more.

Employee Giving/Matching Programs

Be sure to ask your employer about charitable payroll-deduction programs, including United Way.
